Do I sound violent?
Do I sound angry?
Well babe
You haven't seen me lately
I'm kind of living a big deal
When the only thing in my life
Ain't real
Not suicidal
No I'd never
Fuck hell
Would be up if I tried
I'm not screaming
Like whatever
Cus the only constant
in my life died
I'm not saying no no
But I just can't say yes
Consider the next month
As the opening test
I've been tested
My entire fucking life
So sorry honey
You've just caught me at a bad time
I'm not saying no no
But I just can't say yes
Consider the next month
As the opening test
I'm not saying bye bye
But you just have to see
Before I deal with you
I have to deal with me
Do I sound upset?
Am I crying?
I didn't notice
And now I am lying
Do you really want to see
My instability?
I sound crazy
I sound ridiculous
Well gosh
That really helps with my trust
Can't you see
I'm not that movie
I'm just
Escaping reality
I'm not saying no no
But I just can't say yes
Consider the next month
As the opening test
I've been tested
My entire fucking life
So sorry honey
I'm not first choice as your wife
I'm not saying no no
But I just can't say yes
Consider the next month
As the opening test
I'm not saying bye bye
But you just have to see
Before I deal with you
You have to deal with me

Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I can't believe all the things that she said
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I guess the poison must have made her feel dead
I never wanted to see
How much you mean to me
Because it was nice pretending
That you could live forever
And now I've wasted my time
I've gone and wasted my time
I wish that everything
Could have just been better
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I can't believe all the things that she said
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I guess those parents must have made her feel dead
And when I heard your speech
I really felt so weak
Your words ring in my mind
But there's so much more you could say
And now I've wasted my time
I've gone and wasted my time
Maybe we're going round
All the way back to that day
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I can't believe all the things that she said
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I guess those words must have made her feel dead
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I can't believe all the things that she said
Oh what a beautiful girl
Oh what a beautiful girl
I guess those standards must have made her feel dead

Cyclical society
Society is sick
I'm losing all my hope
Incredibly quick
I heard another man got shot
It was on my TV
They all said it was justified
So I guess its just me
Who thinks its fucking bullshit
That I could take a life like that
If someone is enough trouble
And that I own the right badge
That I wouldn't have to apologise
To all their family and friends
Because, fuck, I probably saved them
"He would have caused trouble in the end"
Cyclical society
Society is sick
I'm losing all my hope
Incredibly quick
I saw another girl get judged
For whatever she wore
They all said it was justified
"That bitch, slut and whore"
Who thinks its fucking bullshit?
That she could be walking down street
Only to be terrorised
Cus your criteria she didn't meet
That she would have to apologise
Because she can make a choice in life
But, fuck, you probably saved her
Her rape would only be justified
Cyclical society
Society is sick
I'm losing all my hope
Incredibly quick
I heard another man got shot
It was on my TV
They all said it was justified
So I guess its just me
Cyclical society
Society is sick
I'm losing all my hope
Incredibly quick
I saw another girl get judged
For whatever she wore
They all said it was justified
"The bitch, slut and whore"

To think there was a time when I
Believed that I could make a change
That I was so true and fine
That I, that I would save the day
To think there was a time when I
When I knew how to rule the world
When I was so young and thick
When I, when I would save the day
But its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will
No long term plans
No hope to improve
The normal people
Are fucked up too
Nothing to regret
Because nothings ever tried
Tradition became such
A comfy ride
But its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will
But its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will
The beacon of hope
The enlightenment age
Just shined on the shit
That still remains
Don't mistake this song
For motivation
Don't try to make
A new Revolution
Cus its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will
But its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will
But its not like that anymore
No its wasn't like that anyway
No it never feels the same
And it always never will

Option, Adoption
Greed & Construction
Useless, Abuse more
Spend time on your fake war
Drugged up, un-sober
As dead as October
Take more, use-less
No More, ruthless
Scream it and shout it
You can read all about it
Take it and break it
And make no mistake that its
Truly unequal
The world and its people
Watching for no one
Leaving forgotten
Sad and confusing
Everyone's losing-
It comes to desire
Hope and messiah
Silent, deceptions
Violent, injections
Numbing or dying
When there's no point in trying
Scream it and shout it
And read all about it
Take it and break it
And make no mistake that its-
Truly unequal
This world and its people
Watching for no one
Leaving forgotten
Scream it and shout it
You can read all about it
Take it and break it
And make no mistake that its-
Truly unequal
This world and its people
Watching for no one
Leaving forgotten

There is a battle going on in my mind
of concious and sub concious matter
I think that I'll trust my concious this time
It leaves me confused but the other is sadder
What do I want to see in my life
I love all the lights
But with you I feel better
And I can promise I'll do better this time
Another chorus will help me forget her
My stupid problems
Always get in the way
This was never
What I set out to say
My life is beautiful
I'm so so so fine
So why the hell
Do they take all my time?
My stupid problems
Always get in the way
This was never
What I set out to say
My life is beautiful
I'm so so so fine
So why the hell
Do they take all my time?
Here is my problem
I want to help you
But for some reason
I seem to need some help too
And then there is feelings
And making decisions
Lets not become
Reality televisons
My stupid problems
Always get in the way
This was never
What I set out to say
My life is beautiful
I am so so so fine
So why the hell
Do they take all my time?
My stupid problems
Always get in the way
This was never
What I set out to say
My life is beautiful
I am so so so fine
So why the hell
Do they take all my time?
